2 ITALIAN DESIGN WEEK ACHIEVING THE IMPROBABLE. INNOVATING WITH BEAUTY For the 2013 Year of Italian Culture in the US, Fondazione Giannino Bassetti presents in San Francisco and the Bay Area the culture, beauty and innovation of 'Made in Italy' design: a week of exhibitions, debate and comparison between the cutting edge models of Italian production and the technology of Silicon Valley towards a new economy of beauty. A comparison between the multiple forms of creativity and innovation found in Milan and its Region, and San Francisco and the Bay Area, to recount the story of artisanship and design as 'new ways of working'. A lesson of style and technique for a culture of work invigorated by the opportunities of the 21 st century. A week of discussions between intellectuals, from Italy and the US; between artisan workshops and laboratories of «makers»; between systems of interest, companies, and networks of actors on both sides. Today we find US companies that hold the beating heart of artisan production in their hands, with unseen technologies, financial and reputational assets. The world also recognizes and appreciates the Italian cultural ability to understand and represent design, as a form of poetry, beauty and business. Immersed in this long tradition, and with our feet firmly on the ground, we want to explore the future, where technology shifts open new ways to beauty and change the models of global production. «Just as the World Wide Web has democratized bit technology innovation, a new class of technology that allows rapid prototype production today and includes 3D printers and laser cutters is democratizing the innovation of atoms» (Chris Anderson, Makers) Milan and San Francisco are equal protagonists, each with their own particularities. Milan building upon and reconstructing its renaissance heritage of artisan workshops, San Francisco through the cutting edge use of technology, where the bit meets the atom: two cities in the bright fog of change looking for new paths, working for the future of humankind Update 21 st May
